Assault Gun with constant strafing is both incredibly safe (hardly ever get hit or never if you actually dodge well) and does some great damage. No wonder pretty much all high level players I've seen spam AGs
I ONLY use scythe for melee actually, so I know what you mean, scythes are really cool and have MUCH more reach so crowd control with them is a joke, just swing and you hit all enemies However, Assault Guns are REALLY OP, doing more damage than the scythe, having all elemental shots available so you can target weaknesses and you can aim, making breaking parts really easy!
Im not too good with ranged weapons
Ima get some more practice with them when i get home
Would practice now but i grabbed the wrong memcard before leaving
So im stuck with other games
All ranged weapons besides AGs are pretty "meh" if you ask me, firing some shots then having to go melee to fill up the Oracle points again. AGs fill it up by using normal, non-elemental shots. They may only do like 1-10 damage most of the time, but they are good for determining weakspots and you can use them along with an elemental shot to keep up the pressure.
And let's not forget that AGs have increased stopping power, making opponents more likely to stay in place. All in all, they are the most OP weapons in the game...
How far in are we talking about? I'm at difficulty 6 now and literally the only quest I haven't at least SS ranked was the difficulty 2 Yan Zhi one, because I only discovered the target mode for gun towards the end of it;-; Most quests I finish with SSS and some with SSS+.
